Because of the crystal structure of the ice, ice has lower density than liquid water. So the volume of the ice of same mass is greater than water. When melting, the volume will decrease.

Naturally occurring neon exists as three isotopes. 90.51% is ne-20 with a mass of 19.99 amu, 0.27% is ne-21 with a mass of 20.99
gregori [183]

The atomic mass of an element is the average relative mass of its atoms as compared with an atom of carbon-12 whose mass is taken as 12. In terms of percentages of different isotopes, the average atomic mass can be determined as follows: A_{average} = ∑(p_{i}X A_{i})/100. Where, p_{i} is the percentage abundance of isotope with atomic number A_{i}.

So, average atomic mass of neon = \frac{(90.51 X 19.99) + (0.27 X 20.99) + (9.22 X 21.99)}{100} = 20.177 amu.

Why do whales absorb CO2?
True [87]

Answer:

Whales facilitate carbon absorption in two ways. On the one hand, their movements — especially when diving — tend to push nutrients from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, where they feed the phytoplankton and other marine flora that suck in carbon, as well as fish and other smaller animals.
